Night Elf
Character Class: 
Warrior
Character Level: 
lvl 70

53 days

Good computer/internet connection?: 
Yes
What is your average latency?: 
30-65 ms
Server you are currently on: 
Gorgonnash
How long have you been on the above server?: 
3 years
Raiding
What talent build do you use to raid?: 
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LV0xdGbogbdZVVzu0gRc ive found that my max maximum dps comes with an imp slam rotation and flurry. i usually don't spec into t clap or imp demo as there has always been someone else around that already has.
Tell us a little about how your class contributes to a raid.: 
keeping a shout up with sunders,demo, and t clap if there are no other warriors; also, a mortal strike if the situation calls for it.
What role are you most comfortable/geared playing?: 
Tanking
Would it be a problem if you had to wait 3 weeks or 3 months to get into raid?: 
the waiting wouldn't bother me as long as the time i am in the raid (when i made it in) is well spent. i work well with others and never lose my cool.
List the instances you have experience in, and the farthest you have been in that instance.: 
zg, mc, aq 20, bwl (up to flamegor), kara, gruuls, mag, ssc, tk, hyjal, bt (up to bloodboil) ive been tanking ever since i started playing the game and have only begun to dps as a warrior within the last 3 months or so.
What is your favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why?: 
id have to say vashj, how everyone has to be on their own program and understand what is going on for her to be killed. it says a lot about the people in a guild that can kill her and kael i think.
What is your least favorite 25-man BC Boss encounter, and why?: 
supremeus. it feels like everything is moving in slow motion to me - it takes a good amount of time to kill him and if you have people doing silly things like standing in fire, you'll have to do the whole sloth-like fight all over again.
General Questions
List your pertinent alts, as well as their classes and levels: 
eighteen 70 paladin with t5 level protection holy and retribution gear eine 70 hunter with season 4 pvp gear and t4/5 raid gear
Is this app for your main alone, or would you like to bring alts over as well?: 
I'd like to bring some alts over too
Why should we recruit you?: 
i work well with others, and i have pretty sick hand eye coordination. i am the kind of guy that you can always count on to give a near perfect performance 99.9% of the time. i am multi-faceted in the tanking/healing/dps roles and i know pretty much everyone's duty in every fight so i won't be doing anything stupid to screw up someone elses job. http://img127.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wowscrnshot091008130258sk8.jpg
Why have you chosen to apply to Downfall?: 
i can appreciate the skill and precision that i saw when i played with you guys those couple of times and i want to be a part of that.
What do you expect to get out of Downfall membership?: 
nothing really. just membership
How do you feel you will contribute to the downfall community?: 
im always up for heroics, 10 mans, and respecing just to help out progression
Do you have any references in Downfall?: 
i enjoy chillin like a villian with hbk and to a lesser extent, disrupta (scary)
How long do you intend to stay in Downfall?: 
FOR-EHH-VUR
What things might cause you to leave?: 
racist/hate speech or consistently long, monologue-like jokes with no punchline
If you are applying to raid, which nights can you raid?: 
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Are you going to burn out?: 
No
Anything else you would like to add?: 
null
What timezone are you in?: 
pacific
How often do you think you would have to miss raid?: 
never
What might the typical reasons for missing raid be?: 
nothing
Read everything here: http://www.downfallguild.org/loot Does that seem fair?: 
yeah. ive seen a couple people whoring for loot when they're getting ready to quit/sell their characters. very irritating when your guilds t6 geared tank suddenly disapears.
If Shihli tells a joke (good or bad), will you laugh?: 
Yes
Your ass, or a hole in the ground?: 
A hole in the ground
UI
How do you feel about mods, particularly in a raid setting?: 
i like xperl for its lit windows upon status changing raid windows. it suits all of my needs currently
Are you willing to change mods that don't interface well with ours in raid?: 
Yes
Personal
How long have you been playing WoW?: 
since sept 05
How old are you?: 
23
Tell us about yourself.: 
I am currently in the Marine Corps IRR and I'm a software engineering major in my third year. For fun I usually just go out with friends, go to the gym for a couple hours, working at home... nothing really significant.
Are you in school or working?: 
mainly school

I was in a guild a long long

jaibyrd — Sun, 09/14/2008 - 01:46

I was in a guild a long long time ago with Sardonyx.  He was a good relliable player and person then.  I haven't payed much attention to what he's been up to since then but its nice to run into him again.  Good luck on your app Sard and it was fun being in a raid with you again (TK sat night)

Yes, I like to heal. No, I've never been shadow.

All I have to say is Sard is

HBK — Thu, 09/11/2008 - 19:49

All I have to say is Sard is a great guy and really knows his stuff. I also would say he would be a great memeber to DF. Sard is also a very dependable person if u ever need him for something he be the first too help.

"we'd be crazy not to pick

Tiras — Thu, 09/11/2008 - 19:11

"we'd be crazy not to pick you up."

 Once again Aidin impresses me with good judgement. :)

 Seriously though, we (Eighteen and I) have been doing 2v2 together now for a few weeks, and I agree that he is very cool under pressure, and has an unusualy good level of playing skill. He is also extremely easy to get along with.

 Of course, I doubt my opinion matter much here, but... meh.

Now for something a little

Aidin — Thu, 09/11/2008 - 16:48

Now for something a little more personal...

I remember you! I sat out Fathom Lord so you could see the infamous Pudo in action...lol Probably the best/smartest all around player to purchase a vial for our guild repairs.

Your application bleeds Downfall material, and we'd be crazy not to pick you up. (but that's just my opinion)

Good Luck!! (sign up for TK vial run this weekend!)

Thank you for your

Aidin — Thu, 09/11/2008 - 16:44

Thank you for your application to Downfall. We are not currently recruiting for our 25 man BT/SW raids. This does not mean that your application is or will be rejected. What it does mean, is that you will now be faced with a few tasks.

Downfall is a community first and foremost and a successful raiding guild second. First you need to ask yourself what it is you want from Downfall. If it's a spot in end game raid, and nothing more...then you may want to seek entry into another one of the many guilds on Gorgonnash.

If you desire a strong sense of community then get ready to work for it! When we talk about community, we aren't talking about the type of community that jumps when you say OMGRUNMYALTTHRUVC!!!! We're talking about a group for people who love this game we pour our lives into, people who will run things with you when they have time, people who may have their own special way of contributing to the community.

Now that you have applied (and if my wall of text didn't lose u 2 paragraphs ago), don't just sit there and hope someone will come hunt you down and say "HERE'S YOUR INVITE!!" because that simply will not happen. Those who gain entry into Downfall work for it. Members have waited upwards of 3 months or more to be part of our community. How do you ensure that you have every option to be the next addition?

Here's an idea:

  • Stay active on this thread, it's your application. You will receive feedback and recommendations. Don't take anything personal, if you can't take constructive criticism, you will never make it in guild chat. Applications are open to the entire community, not just officers, so if you were a douche to a member in the past, be ready for it to bite you in the ass.
  • If given goals to meet, make them.
  • Sign up for events you can make and which you are geared for. No need to sign up for BT/SW, as those aren't testing grounds for new members. Focus on the Sunday Gruul/Mag run by yours truly or the Saturday SSC/TK run by Grasen.
  • If you sign up...show up. No one likes an app who signs up for all raids and never shows. Be sure to send a tell to the raid leader so he/she knows you are available and ready to rock.
  • Download the raid pack. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT show up to a Gruul/Mag or SSC/TK without our required add ons. If you do not understand what you are looking at, then research it. If you still don't understand, post you're question and someone will help you. (If you think only bad players use mods, we can say our goodbyes right now)
  • Do everything you can to get your name out there, and show why you should be part of our community. Run 5 mans, Run 10 mans, participate in forum discussions.

If and when you are accepted into Downfall, you are strictly on a trial basis. If we invite you because you convinced us you were the worlds greatest healer/tank/random dps class, and you looooooooooove to run 5 mans...but you never run a thing, you never sign up for fun runs, and you burn out and don't sign on for 1+ months, don't be surprised if you find yourself guildless on log in one day.

It's very simple, don't say what we want to hear just to get in, because it will haunt you in the end. Be honest, and we will be fair.

With that said....GOOD LUCK ON YOUR APPLICATION!
